Description
Written by two officials of the European Parliament, this book guides the reader through the complexities of this multinational body. It describes the historical basis of the Parliament, how it operates, what its powers are, what political groups are represented, and how the Parliament can be expected to affect European countries and the European Community in the near future. The authors offer an inside view of the workings of the Parliament. The result is a topical guide to an institution rapidly growing in influence.
